Product Description:

PdfCompress is a Mac OS X utility for reducing the size of PDF files. Just drop your file on the PdfCompress icon and it will quickly create a new, compressed PDF file suitable for sending via e-mail or posting on the Web.

PdfCompress features a wide variety of compression methods (including LZW, Flate, JPEG, JPEG2000, font removal, CCITTT Group 4, dead-object stripping, metadata removal) and automaticallly chooses the most appropriate options for your file, yielding compression ratios of up to 10x or more for a wide variety of files. We do recommend you try PdfCompress with your files before you buy a license, as compression varies due not least to fundamental axioms of information theory not all files can be compressed.

PdfCompress never modifies your original file, and always names result files in a manner that indicates they've been compressed, so you can be sure that your data is safe and you won't send or post the wrong file accidentally.

PdfCompress ReviewSELECTABLE compression, not all or nothing - Version: 5.4, 11/11/2007 11:26PM PST

oregonpete--2008
I create a lot of how-to pdfs which include screen shots that are posted on a website for downloading. It is nice to have small files, but it is more important that they be readable. With most pdf compression you get max compression/poor image quality or nothing. The screen shots usually make the viewer think they are desperately in need of cataract surgery. With PDFCompress I can get a good compromise between image quality and file size. And the interface couldn't be simpler. Adjust the quality in Preferences and drag and drop the pdf onto the application icon. It's inexpensive, fast, simple, effective and works flawlessly in Leopard, too. What's not to like?

Tiger has an Automator function to that effect.
